Class Rating

Assigned to: "Rising Seniors". For the purposes of this scale, a player
is designated a "Rising Senior" on January 1 of the year they will become a senior.
Example: 2020 graduate becomes a "Rising Senior"
1/1/2019

Purposes:To show the level(s) at which the player has potential to be
recruited, and show how the player rates against other "Rising Seniors".

Scale Numbers 1 - 10. Top = 1, Bottom = 10

This rating is based only on our evaluation of the baseball player. There are many other
factors that influence the recruiting process, our scale does not account for them since
they are specific to each individual school.

player academics (GPA, boards)

school recruiting budget, available money

school academic requirements

type of player(s) school likes and recruits

school recruiting needs

in state vs. out of state players

The Class Rating is not designed to express the scholarship potential of a
player to a certain level or school, only the schools and coaches can determine that
using the factors above along with their evaluation of the player.

The Class Rating is designed to help players identify the level(s) of college
baseball at which they have potential to be recruited, and to help schools and coaches
identify players that have potential to be recruits for them.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic
evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches
with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However,
for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for
Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).

Your Home to 1st Base Time

Running - U.S. National Metrics

Athlete's run in short bursts 5 yards to the left, changes direction and run 10 yards to the
right, then pivot and explodes 5 yards back to the left finishing where they started. The
shuttle run tests an
athlete's lateral quickness, explosion in short areas and ability to change direction.

Your Shuttle (L) Time

Running - U.S. National Metrics

Athlete's run in short bursts 5 yards to the right, changes direction and run 10 yards to
the
left, then pivot and explodes 5 yards back to the right finishing where they started. The
shuttle run tests an
athlete's lateral quickness, explosion in short areas and ability to change direction.

Your Broad Jump

Strength - U.S. National Metrics

Taking the standard broad jump to the next level, here we can test for lateral quickness and
explosion by having the athlete jump off on one leg and in the direction of the other. This
also gives us a feel for the
independent explosiveness of each side of the lower half of the body.

Your Lateral Jump Left

Strength - U.S. National Metrics

Taking the standard broad jump to the next level, here we can test for lateral quickness and
explosion by having the athlete jump off on one leg and in the direction of the other. This
also gives us a feel for the
independent explosiveness of each side of the lower half of the body.

Your Lateral Jump Right

Strength - U.S. National Metrics

Using a dynamometer, we test for grip strength by having an athlete squeeze the device as
hard
as they can for a few seconds. In general, the stronger an athlete's grip the quicker their
bat speed and throwing
velocity.

Your Left Grip PSI

Strength - U.S. National Metrics

Using a dynamometer, we test for grip strength by having an athlete squeeze the device as
hard
as they can for a few seconds. In general, the stronger an athlete's grip the quicker their
bat speed
and throwing velocity.

Your Right Grip PSI

Catching - U.S. National Metrics

Also known as Pop Time, this test is measured using a stopwatch. The catcher receives a
pitch,
exchanges, and throws down to 2B. The timer starts when the ball contacts the Catcher's
glove and is stopped when the
ball contact's the middle infielder's glove at 2B. Combining technique, agility, and arm
strength, Pop Time is one
of the most important metrics for a Catcher because it indicates their ability to throw
runners out.

Your Velocity

Hitting - U.S. National Metrics

The batter hits a ball off a tee and we use a radar gun to capture the velocity of the ball
coming off the barrel of the bat. This test gives an idea of an athlete's bat speed,
explosiveness, hand speed, and overall strength.

ADVANCED SWING METRICS BY

Trigger To Impact is the amount of time - measured in milliseconds - elapsed from the start
of your forward bat motion
to the moment of impact. SwingTracker measures Trigger To Impact from the instant the player
begins accelerating the bat
toward ball, until the precise moment of impact.
